    TL;DR give the ultra-rich 2,000 bonus energy each to kick off wars.

    Your way they can have 1,000 stacked, kick off the war, refill 1,000 right before the flip, unload, refill 1,000 again click the farm before new day, 700 more, day flips, 700 more, xanax 250, FHGs 1350, point refills 300 …

    If that's the case, I change my stance. I haven't seen where staff said it's a 24 hour tick yet, only a few random players making the statement. There's a lot of misunderstanding with this update. Maybe Ched should include …

So we have already had staff confirm that benefits will not stack and that you need to claim payout to reset the timer

Although I can understand not wanting to encourage long term inactive play rewarded I think each of the weekly ones should be able to stack up to at least 2 weeks.

This would be enough to give at least some gameplay enhancements whilst justifying the high costs for those who want to double up on next increments and it isn't overpowered with a cap

EDIT: Only for item related BB's and not MSC

Keep as is. Refills are given for inactivity already, there should be some limit on how much the game should autopilot itself for you.

But why 2 weeks? Seems rather arbitrary?
Heisenberg [1574771] · #4
Up until a max of 1000e in any case

Maybe not for energy but more for the item related BBs

Not OP, but if it's two weeks, it would allow you to be a few hours late to collecting the dividend, but still start to work towards the next.

My understanding of the system now is that you only start to gain the next dividend once you've collected a payout, which means that your return will end up being 7 days + time to collect. So sooner or later you'll miss an entire sleeps worth of dividend accrual.

It just becomes so arbitrary, you give me 2 weeks, now I'm going to ask you, well why can't I have three?

It's as you say.. Reward activity.
Fishbum [2009144] · #8
2 weeks would allow the timer to continue to tick if you were offline and couldn't claim the benefit. There is a real possibility that if you don't claim your benefit for a number of hours each week, you will slowly shift the day/time you receive the payouts or potentially get just under one payout per week. It's valid to not allow MCS to accrue because of the 2k E potential, and I'm guessing Ched wanted to keep the code the same between the payouts. I'd personally prefer it the way it is over allowing MCS to accrue.

Damn, imagine kicking off a war with 6,300E stat beasts
cooksie [2152172] · #10
So there's currently a 24 hour window where you can claim your benefit. They're on 24 hour ticks, not the second you claim it, so you're not slowly shifting the times you receive the payout.

I think this thread is based on a misunderstanding of the system?
Heisenberg [1574771] · #12
Nah not a misunderstanding, maybe a bit of entitlement haha, I want to give myself the ability to be off for a day or 2 without worrying about BB's, this is never possible without losing out when you have many BBs and close to payout

Almost one will always be just about to pay out so you never have that safety net in case of IRL getting in way

If that's the case, I change my stance. I haven't seen where staff said it's a 24 hour tick yet, only a few random players making the statement. There's a lot of misunderstanding with this update. Maybe Ched should include some graphics of the interface to help preemptively answer questions with the announcement.

I agree this could be clearer but I linked a source above; https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=3&t=16220072&b=0&a=0&start=20&to=21378402

24 hours later it would tick towards your next bonus — IF you've claimed the previous reward


Also detailed on the Wiki; https://wiki.torn.com/wiki/Stock_Market#Stock_Benefits

there is a 24 hours window in which to collect dividends before any time progression toward the next dividend is lost

Mentions: Can we save Dividends?

If you encourage 2 weeks+ stacking items, you discourage casual players not logging in more frequently and then companies take another hit with tanking efficiency stars.

Please, keep it as it is, it's just logging in once a week to claim your bonuses and if you're late you pay that price. Reward activity, not the inactive.
LoneGunman [1703824] · #17
This is what we need some clarification on. Am i losing out or delaying my next payout for every second, minute or hour that I dont collect whats already accrued?
